These resources are designed to help you if you are a tenant or a sub-tenant.

There are also resources on share housing generally.

In addition to the resources on this page, the Tenants' Union of NSW also has a large range of fact sheets, sample letters and other resources. These are a great starting point for getting an understanding of your rights. 

NOTE: If you are renting from a head tenant and you do not have a written agreement, you may not be covered under tenancy law. Please contact our service for advice.

EATS cannot provide advice to head tenants in regards to their sub tenants.
